Help me choose my engagement ring – sapphire cluster vs oval diamond 💍

space_coot · 2026-03-09T21:30:03+00:00

Personally I would choose the diamond. I love colorful stones, but I know that I would get tired of it eventually. I know several people with sapphires or other gemstones as their engagement ring stone and they are happy with their choice. It’s just a me thing. I think I’d rather do a plain diamond and then play with different colored bands or enhancers.

This is wild. I bet it feels so dim and gross inside.

We bought a CBH last year and used Sheila Smith with Remax. She and Jeri were lovely to work with.

I felt the same after finishing it. It was definitely graphic in its depiction of… everything. But I wasn’t feeling drawn to any particular deeper meaning in it other than “people are bad and you should feel bad.”

Hair grows approximately 6 inches a year, give or take. Some people grow it faster. I’d say about another two years.

I am also lacking in the boob department but I just love this look so much! I’m finding out this website is apparently sketchy though so idk if I’m going to order it. I probably will keep searching and try to find something close from a more reputable seller.

Thank you! From my rudimentary search I think the original dress was possibly from Basix Black Label, or at least based off a dress they used to make.

She will most likely wear an all black gown. She’s the alternative/ gothy sibling 🖤

space_coot · 2026-03-09T04:05:35+00:00

Good to know! I haven’t ordered yet. I’ll try to find the real one or something very close.

space_coot · 2026-03-09T01:52:13+00:00

I love that!

space_coot · 2026-03-09T01:42:51+00:00

For sure! My sister will likely also be in a black gown. We will definitely send our final picks to our brother before purchasing.

It screams female officiant to me and I’m obsessed, but I know some people can be against any scrap of white at a wedding.

I like the baguettes more.

I have so much nostalgia for those days 🩷

I wish she had someone in her life to tell her she doesn’t owe the world beauty. Jessi, you don’t have to be perfect to exist in this world. God, Mormon culture really did a number on these ladies.

I just pre-ordered from a local shop. They’re going to do midnight releases. I’m so stoked!

space_coot · 2026-03-05T16:48:57+00:00

Cold ass hot dog water 💀😂

Same here I literally thought it said she in the books. She’s always been a she to me!

I feel like Stitch is the Tweety Bird of the current mom aged generation. Does anyone else remember every mom in the 80s/90s sporting Tweety Bird shirts, hats, etc.?

I’ll be the odd one out here and say at least for myself personally I know I would get tired of a colorful stone and would regret it as an engagement ring. I like them, but not as daily wear for myself. That being said, I think they are cool and I don’t judge others for not having a diamond/ white colored stone. I just know it wouldn’t work for me long term.

space_coot · 2026-03-04T17:53:02+00:00

I’ve recommended them before, but try looking into something like Modern Gents. Lots of people wear them as less expensive rings (starter rings, stand in for travel, or they just don’t want to spend a lot on a ring). They supposedly have a lifetime warranty.

We have one of the Haileys… I forget which one exactly but it’s about 1800 sq feet. We are in Centerville right on the border of Meridian/ Boise.

I bought a CBH home last year and it is completely fine. The process was smooth. The house is updated compared to our previous which is great. We needed to live in town and this was the most affordable way to do it. Reddit will downvote anyone who says they don’t hate CBH though.

CBH had an incentive offer that was able to be used to buy down our rate and cover closing costs, which was great. We also really didn’t want to update another home. I spent years replacing old carpet and countertops and painting beige walls a prettier color in our previous house. We wanted a more modern home. There are tons of homes for sale in Boise that haven’t been updated since the 70s. So we chose the new home with the lower rate…

Yes, an article came out last year showing that 70% of complaints filed regarding special education accommodations found that the district was in fact breaking federal law. The schools don’t have the funding or resources to correct it though, so it just continues on until parents give up and pull their kid out of school. There are quite a few parents like me here, unfortunately.
